A Letter from the Superintendent

Dear Laurel County Public Schools Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year! Whether you are a returning member of our schools or joining us for the first time, we are excited to have you as an invaluable part of the Laurel County Public Schools community. We believe in “Doing Great Things for Kids, so Kids Can Do Great Things!”

As always, your child’s safety and well-being remain our top priorities. Our teachers are reenergized and ready to reconnect with students, reignite their curiosity, and help them regain academic, social, and emotional progress after a year of challenges. We are committed to fostering a compassionate and supportive environment where every student feels valued and safe, and we are here to support your family in every way possible.

This year, we’re excited to return to familiar school routines. Consistent schedules, engaging classroom activities, and school-wide events will help re-establish a sense of normalcy and stability for everyone. Our dedication to academic excellence, safe and nurturing learning spaces, and student achievement is stronger than ever.

Your support and involvement are critical to our students' success. We are incredibly grateful for your resilience, trust, and partnership. Together, we look forward to a year of healing, growth, and remarkable accomplishments.

Let’s continue working together to ensure the Laurel County Public Schools remain a high-achieving, top-performing district–where every student can reach their full potential.

Warm regards,

Denise M. Griebel

Superintendent
